Help with ZIP RAM
« on: July 21, 2006, 01:25:30 PM »
Hi,

I have a Harms 030 Professional accelerator for my A500. It has 4MB of ZIP RAM already onboard and room for 4 MB more. Here's a picture:

In fact it's the exact same one as pictured there. The previous owner made these photos.  :-)

I am looking to max the card out to 8Mb, but I'm a bit confused over what to get.. I have been doing some research about ZIP RAM and I got some info from old Usenet postings. From what I understand there are several things I need to take into account:

- static mode or page mode
- memory 'speed' (60ns, 70ns, 80ns?)

I see 8 sockets on my board. I found a source that sells ZIP RAM. Can I use any of these for my board:

I'm a little confused as to how much RAM this actually is. What does 1x4 mean? Is it 4MB? Also will those 4MB come in 8 chips so they will fit into my board? Also can I mix static and page mode? Help!
 :-(

Hey that's funny !!

I sold you that turbo card and i can also help you on some extra zipp's if you want to. Just give me a mail and things will be solved. It is 80NS but that doens't really matter with that board. I also used 8mb on it.

Greetings Henk


Well, I'll be.....  :-D  It's a small world after all I guess. That would be absolutely perfect, Henk. I'll drop you an email right away!! And thanx as well to the other 2 posters for their advice!
